Wed, 30 Apr 2008 13:23:56 PDT
Cole Hamels has pitched at least seven innings in each of his first six starts, becoming the first Phillies pitcher to do so since Curt Schilling, who did it 11 times in 1998, according to the pre-game notes.

There is a lot of rumination on “wine quality” as an absolute measure in this country. I have used the idea of a measurable quality level myself often in conjunction with price to confer value (quality quality) status on a particular bottle. Over time I have come to realize that this system of determining a wine’s quality vis-a-vis its price to determine a value proposition is a fun concept, mostly academic and one that bears little resemblance to how we enjoy
